After each adventure, there is a long or short period of hibernation. During this time, every cell in Xia Xiao's body is getting rid of its fatigue and preparing for the next normal operation. But some hibernation is to make their cells work slowly, in exchange for more time.

The old black dragon was about to die. As a member of the royal family of the Wild Beast Forest, Hu Bugui's life span was far more than three hundred years. But when he was young, he burned too much of his life to gain a short burst of power, but what he lost was the most precious thing at the moment. When he burned his life, he had expected this result, but he did not let it go, but entered a deep sleep to give himself some time.

Hu Bugui vaguely felt that there was something waiting for him to do. Although he didn't know what it was, the feeling was extremely strong, like a call, like a mission entrusted to him by the heavens and the wilderness, making him fall asleep and spend the last part of his life.

Hu Bugui devoted his whole life to his ideals, but in his last days, he wanted to do something heroic enough to be praised by others or remembered by a group of people. Nothing makes Hu Bugui happier than hearing a few compliments from future generations, which is why he is still so persistent even at his old age.

Hu Bugui was covered in wounds, which was one of the reasons for his accelerated aging. Now, the old man was sleeping in his house with his wounds and obsessions, and his cloudy eyes kept the last ray of light for the future. When he fell asleep, Xia Xiao, Azhu and Xiao Ran were left unattended, so he wrote a short letter and three bamboo slips before falling asleep and gave them to Xiao Ran.

As a fellow from the Great Forest, Hu Bugui had a good impression of Xiao Ran. Although wild beasts were brave, there were very few people like Xiao Ran. And Hu Bugui felt that the path she was taking was right!

After Xia Xiao woke up, Xiao Ran told him and Azhu what the senior had told him, which were nothing more than some words to practice seriously and not to neglect. These words were nothing new, but they were what Hu Bugui expected. He hoped that his students could reach the top of the mountain. Although this journey was full of ups and downs, as a teacher, who wouldn't want his students to surpass him?

"Our future special instructor will be Senior Li Lunming."

"It seems that the seniors have discussed it."

Xia Xiao sat in the hall, and suddenly felt that Huodou was not the evil star, but himself. Seniors Muxinglong and Ganar died in the darkness, and Senior Hu Bugui was in his later years. In just one and a half years in the academy, less than two years, he had already seen off his two closest teachers, and he felt a little uncomfortable. Now he just hoped that Senior Li Lunming would not have a similar experience, and that Azhu and Xiaoran would not be injured because of him, and that they would try to avoid running outside. Before Xia Xiao had enough strength, he wanted to live a stable life.

"This is the bamboo slip given by the senior."

Xiaoran had handed the extremely short letter to Li Lunming, and now he handed the last bamboo slip to Xia Xiao.

"It contains our training plan for the next four months, as well as some precautions."

"Master even prepared the wild beast for me to sign the spiritual contract. I am so touched!"

Among Xia Xiao and the other two, Hu Bugui was the one who showed the most gratitude to Ah Zhu, so she was full of respect, but also a little disappointed. It seemed that she had no chance to repay her master. The only thing she could do was to improve her strength in the next four months and give her master a surprise when he woke up. His only disciple would also be promoted to the Venerable Realm!

This bamboo slip contained all of Hu Bugui's blessings and instructions. Xia Xiao was also looking forward to it. When he opened it, there was no ink writing on it. Xia Xiao felt that the senior would not joke with him like this. The wordless heavenly book was useless. What wonderful things could he comprehend? So he quickly turned over the rolled bamboo slip. In the end, there were still words on the bamboo slip, but there was only one word - stable.

The bamboo slip was very large, rolled up more than ten times, but there was only one word on it, which made Xia Xiao curious. When he concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, and then used his vital energy to sense it, he saw nothing, as if there was no mystery in it. This simple word was all the plan that the senior had given him.

Seeing Xia Xiao's amusing and helpless expression, Azhu and Xiaoran hurried to look, but this one word was too fantastic.

"Senior, do you want you to stay steady?"

"How strange! Why is Master showing off his mystique?"

Xia Xiao was as confused as Xiao Ran and A Zhu, but this "steady" should not mean "steady and don't be reckless". Seniors don't understand this word. But what did he mean?

Although Xia Xiao was as steady as an old dog, he could not find the answer after thinking hard. Perhaps the senior did not have so many deep meanings, but just wanted him to be more stable when practicing. Or he did not let himself take risks, because he would always faint after taking risks, and the number of times was frightening. In any case, Xia Xiao had already felt the senior's concern for him, but the bamboo slips that Xiao Ran took out formed a sharp contrast with him.

The words on the bamboo slips were densely packed and all carved on them instead of written, which made Xia Xiao dumbfounded.

“Isn’t this a huge difference?”

"I think the senior thought you were already very capable, so he didn't point out your path and wanted you to walk on your own. As for me and Ah Zhu, we don't have enough talent, so we have to pay attention to so many things."

Xiao Ran spoke softly, which made Ah Zhu secretly learn. She and Shu Shuang had similar personalities. If he learned from her, he might be able to change Xia Xiao's impression of him. Ah Zhu was young and acted on his thoughts. He immediately imitated Xiao Ran's tone and said:

"Sister Xiaoran is right. Don't worry too much. We will make steady progress. Come on, come on."

Xia Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Azhu, which made the latter secretly happy. It worked so quickly?

The surprise in Xia Xiao's eyes turned into disgust in an instant, and then he said:

"What the hell are you doing? Speak properly."

"I'm just talking nicely."

Ah Zhu lowered his voice, causing Xia Xiao to utter a sound of disgust. Ah Zhu couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately stood up and shouted:

"What do you mean? You're not happy with me being gentle with you."

"That's called sickness, not gentleness."

"Get lost!"

Ah Zhu snorted, but Xia Xiao ignored him and stood up, put on his clothes and looked at the bamboo slips in his hand. The two nights of darkness behind the Changbai Mountains made Xia Xiao spend the days of late winter and early spring, and finally the real spring when the weather was warm and cold. At present, it can be said that spring is in full bloom, everything is reviving, the air is a little warmer, and the geraniums by the window are blooming bright but not seductive red flowers again.

Xia Xiao went out, stretched, greeted several students who were reading in the yard, and then stood among them. However, he still could not figure out the true meaning of stability.

"We have to go find our senior."

Xiao Ran stood beside Xia Xiao and reminded him, and the latter nodded.

"Yes, we must go. Let's go now!"

Before he had taken a few steps, Xia Xiao's stomach growled. This was what happened every time he woke up from a coma, and it made him turn abruptly to another road.

"Have a meal first and then go."
